The recent explosion in the harbor city of Tianjin is a sobering reminder of the potential of mankind to create disasters; what we should do to prevent them; and the importance of proper equipment and training for those responding to these catastrophic incidents.

The puppy, (we'll just call him "Yorkie"), went deep inside the pipe and became stuck. Soon, his family became worried, but then realized he was inside the drainpipe.
